    After that sick performance James Toney put on against Sam Peter in the second fight, I don't know why he still has a boxing license. Ten years ago I would have bet any amount that Toney would beat either of the Klitschko sisters. That was then and this is now.

    Holyfield would take the fight, that is for sure. So would Ruiz, imo.

    Nice list Toney, Kevin Johnson, Olander Solis and Brian Minto. I hope one of these four or Valuev get the fight.

    Minto is busy with Bruce Seldon.

    Wladimir will easily KO Toney. I would rather see Arreola or Valuev steping in for Haye.

    An article on here said that we wants to sub for Haye. Don't you think that he would put that fight on hold for a chance to fight for the title and more money? Vargas ditched Sledon for a chance to fight Kevin Johnson.

    While I think Russians are afraid of short heavyweights from Pennsylvania, Minto needs more time. He's tough and would go the full route with Wlad, imo, but he needs more work before taking on Klitschko.

    The Goosens said that Arreola isn't in shape but that Toney is. I haven't heard Valuev step up yet but that would be great. Toney hasn't been stopped by anyone yet in his almost 80 fight career. Reggie Johnson, Roy Jones and Samuel Peter are the only three guys to put him on his butt and Peter only did it once in the twentyfour rounds they fought.

    No one cares about Minto. No one will accept him as a replacement for Haye.

    May have no choice. If Arreola wont do it, if Valuev wont do it, then who else is there? Ruiz? Solis? Toney? Holyfield? Minto isnt so bad, considering.

    You are probably right but he says he's been in the gym since his last fight an eight round win. He says he could be ready in two weeks. If Minto had the same power as Bert Cooper did I think we could possibly have a Holyfield-Cooper like bout on our hands. Kevin Johnson and Orlando Solis also said they want to fight Wlad. If Johnson has been training since his last fight that would be a good fight to make.

    Well if Minto is to be the man, I'll be rooting for him. We'll have a real life Rocky/Drago contest, thats for sure.
